Im finding it harder and harder as the long days go byto find the truth inside of me, to dry the tearstained eyethe turmoil inside is ripping at my heart and soulthe darkness within is proving to difficult to control

unable to shake the feelings that im breaking my loved ones heartunable to rid the thoughts that we need to be apartcant decide if what im doing is really right or wrongand wrestling with the thinking that I have known all along

I love her, I think, no I really really dobut not the love it should be to carry us throughthe dark days, the quiet moments, the trouble within lifenot the love that's needed to become husband and wife

where do I go from here as I cant go on much longerim angry with myself as I should be so much strongerive got to be decisive, got to prepare for the hurtful painim frightened that our years together have all been in vain

the time has come to finish it, to say it is no morealready the fear is rising, seeping from every porethe truth should bring the blue sky, the dark should now be brightbut the turmoil will not go away, its not giving up the fight
